    Default My brother

    I wonder do we sometimes just hear the tune and a few snatches of words when it comes to ‘pop songs’ – I know they don’t always register with me – especially today!
    However, there is one song by The Hollies that I have always loved.
    I lost my brother a few days before Christmas and lately I have found myself singing snatches of the song here and there so I looked up the words on the Web – they are so profound – this song will always have a very special place in my heart. LB

    "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother"

    The road is long, with many a winding turn
    That leads us to who knows where, who knows where
    But I'm strong, strong enough to carry him
    He ain't heavy - he's my brother

    So on we go, his welfare is my concern
    No burden is he to bare, we'll get there
    For I know he would not encumber me
    He ain't heavy - he's my brother

    If I'm laden at all, I'm laden with sadness
    That everyone's heart isn't filled with gladness of love for one another
    It's a long long road from which there is no return
    While we're on our way to there, why not share
    And the load, it doesn't weigh me down at all
    He ain't heavy - he's my brother
    He ain't heavy - he's my brother, he's my brother, he's my brother

    So sorry to hear you lost your brother a few days before Christmas, LB.

    I've always liked that song, and it has a special place in my heart too. Just a few months ago, it was playing on the radio, as I was driving home from work. As I was listening, it occured to me that it would be an appropriate song for my two sons, aged 22 and 17. Although they are 5 years apart, they are the best of friends, and always have been. My husband and I are very proud of that fact, and that they always help each other out, no matter what!
    I am living for today, always remembering yesterday, and looking forward to tomorrow!

    Sorry to hear of yer loss LB.But as always here's a wee ditty for mine.

    Ya big scurmish of a guy yer a bully
    Ye say I dinnae take life serious,I'm a fooly
    Ye telt me that ma better pictures werenae fair
    So ye started pullin on ma hair

    Then forward later by aboot 20 odd years
    I'm gettin married and the beers flowin,CHEERS
    But theres no more hair pullin cos we're awld
    And hardly a hair on oor heids cos we're bald

    I push trollies all day for ma livin
    To fight for yer country is what ye are given
    So when ye dae yer stuff in Iraq
    Big bro I'll see ye when ye come back

    Good one Ced - I hope it won't be too long before you can have a pint with your brother and remember when you both had hair to pull.
